Multiplication Videos

Welcome to the MULTIPLICATION maths videos.

We recommend starting with the introduction at the top and then working through the videos below.

In these videos you will see how written methods for multiplication progress throughout primary school. Children begin in Key Stage 1 by using number lines but as they begin to work with larger numbers we introduce the grid method which many pupils stick with until the end of primary school.  However, many children will be ready the compact column method for multiplying by the end of Key Stage 2.

KS1 – Multiplication on a Number Line

Lower KS2 – The Grid Method for Multiplication

Upper KS2 – Column Multiplication
